This new approach will promote and support the adoption of best practices in cleaning and decontamination at hospitals and help them fight against HCAIs, while meeting the new National Standards of Healthcare Cleanliness.

Sodexo noted that all processes, solutions and cleaning frequencies will be aligned to each hospital’s risk categories.

Sodexo UK & Ireland cleaning head Lauren Kyle said: “Sodexo is passionate about helping to prevent HCAIs and achieving positive patient outcomes through training, continual innovation and correct procedures to create efficiencies in patient care and wellbeing.

“Providing a clean and safe environment for patients and staff and improving everyday outcomes has never been more important. The pandemic has raised awareness of the critical role cleaning professionals have in helping to keep healthcare settings safe and clean.”
